'Banter' is the right word - their back-and-forth is easy and snappy and awesome, and your voices are right on. I love their casual brinksmanship - what's a knock-out drug between friends? Or a death threat, or a phone call to your pining best friend, etc. I'm convinced this is how they'd work together, if they had to. Irene has such a charming streak of fun to her that makes this a great read.

Also, I would totally watch Irene Adler, Crime Fighter. Totally.
